When I was a kid, I was a huge Barbie fan. I was the 7-year-old girl in your neighborhood that had at least 100 Barbie, Stacy, and Ken dolls, a Barbie dream house, lots of clothes and accessories, a Barbie dream bed and furniture, pool and convertible. In other words, my Barbies had the dream life! And I enjoyed playing with them each and every day.

While Barbie and her boyfriend Ken might still be the same dolls, they have gone through a very radical transformation. Last year Barbie debuted four different body types and seven different skin tones to help represent the diversity among young Barbie fans. And now it looks like Ken has gotten quite the makeover, too. In fact, we don’t think we’ve ever seen him look so different before!
